I study tree rings under the supervision of Prof. Matthew D. Terrell. My work focuses on understanding the relationship between tree growth patterns and hydrological events, particularly floods. Analyzing the growth patterns recorded in tree rings provides valuable insights into past flood occurrences and their implications for future water management strategies. I aspire to work in a multidisciplinary environment to develop innovative solutions. I aim to contribute to the development of real-time flood forecasting systems that integrate tree-ring data and other relevant information
